Ekiti: PDP group attacks Gov. Fayemi over sack of 2000 workers employed by Fayose

 

The Ekiti State Chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party National News Media Group, PDP-NNMG, has condemned in strong terms, the retrenchment of about 2000 workers employed into Teaching and Civil Services of the State during the immediate past Peter Ayodele Fayose’s administration.

The group described John Kayode Fayemi’s action as one filled with vile, hate, wickedness and vendetta, adding that the Governor must be reminded about the ephemeral nature of power and authority.

It said that it was only a matter of time before the Governor’s alleged heinous actions are brought under review since nothing lasts forever.

The group said Ekiti State has never been so divided since its creation, stressing that the seed of discord being allegedly sowed among indigenes of the singular most homogeneous state in Nigeria by the governor be stopped forthwith.

It would be recalled that the Ayo Fayose administration recruited about 2000 junior and senior workers to fill vacancies in the state government workforce in an exercise advertised long before the July 21st governorship election.

Governor Fayemi however in a statement signed yesterday by his chief press secretary, Laolu Oyebode, declared the exercise null and void claiming that the recruitment was done to throw his government off balance.

In a statement released on Thursday, Ekiti State Coordinator of the PDP-NNMG, Bola Agboola said the retrenchment is one devilish act too many.

He said, “Governor Fayemi has for the umpteenth time proved his viciousness by pronouncing 2000 breadwinners hapless and helpless!

“Fayemi is known for attempting to undermine and dwarf his predecessors’ achievements, you would recall this was the same way he scrapped University of Science and Technology, Ifaki which was the hallmark of Engr. Segun Oni’s administration.

“Fayemi would have demolished Fayose’s 1.3km flyover if he had had his way. Today, the Oja Oba that was about 95% completed before Fayose left office in 2018 has been abandoned. In 2010, Fayemi sent packing duly elected local government executive members and counsellors across the 16 LGA of the state, he repeated same in 2018 after rigging his way to the government house a second time.

“It is a known fact that Fayemi was behind the case instituted against Ekiti State government under former governor Ayo Fayose by landowners in communities where an airport would have been constructed for the state, Fayemi through his aides castigated the construction of the proposed airport but today he’s setting machinery in motion to build one, that’s Fayemi’s kind of person.

“One would have thought that an electoral robber who does not enjoy the support of majority of the citizenry would thread softly with caution, same is not the case for our kinsman whose innate tendency for crass ungodliness, profanity and profligacy will not allow not to lead a chorus where he is not wanted”.

Agboola further stated that “there is no gainsaying Dr. Kayode Fayemi represents the very worst of Ekiti people. He is full of hatred for the Ekiti people, very vindictive, callous and deadly. Or what offence did those 2000 workers he sacked yesterday commit? Must he wait till they have spent 8 months wasting their money and precious time working without salary for the government before telling them to stop?

“Why didn’t he sack them before the presidential and National Assembly elections? Why didn’t he sack them before the state assembly election? Because he knew the hue and cry won’t allow his rigging the elections sail through without challenge? Fayemi is heartless!”

Ekiti State chapter of the PDP-NNMG hereby call on the 2000 workers not to despair but to be strong and of good courage as the Pharaoh they see today, they will see no more. We urge you to charge this rogue government of the day to court, the lawyers know what to do.

Your sack is temporary, keep your letters of appointment in a very safe place, a responsible government is coming and your case shall be revisited, I assure you your employment will be revalidated as this is never the end of your world, Agboola affirmed.

Fayose, EFCC saga: Prosecuting witness declared missing in Ekiti

 

Wife of Mr. Aladegbola Adewale Clement, a Prosecuting Witness for the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) against former Governor Ayo Fayose, Mrs. Olajumoke Aladegbola, on Friday evening raised the alarm that she couldn’t reach her husband since 9am Friday describing the development as unusual and worrisome.

Aladegbola was the Prosecution Witness in the trial of Mr. Fayose on Friday who caused a stir in the court when contrary to his earlier extra-judicial statement to the EFCC, told the court on Friday that he did not move cash from Afao Ekiti, Fayose’s hometown on the June 16, 2014 and that the two vehicles he used to drive in Zenith Bank were grounded on that day.

The witness is a former driver to Zenith Bank Ado-Ekiti branch who was supposed to be the second prosecution witness for the day told Justice Mojisola Olatoregun, that he got to know about Afao Ekiti sometimes in 2014 when the head of cash payment section of the bank told him that there is something to be done in Afao Ekiti and that when he asked him what that thing was, he said it was unofficial.

Aladegbola said he was told to lie by the bank Cash Officer, Okemute Oputu. He said that on April 16, 2015, the Zenith Bank bullion van was grounded and there were no operations.

Obviously shocked at this point, the prosecutor, Mr Rotimi Jacobs, SAN, told the court that he will be asking for adjournment as the witness seems to be a hostile witness.

Speaking on Friday evening in Ado Ekiti, Ekiti State capital, Mrs. Aladegbola said she got an unconfirmed report from her husband’s friends and relatives that he might have been arrested by the authorities.

Crying profusely, she appealed to the authorities to help release her husband, saying: ” I have not seen my husband since Tuesday when he left Ado Ekiti to attend to the EFCC/Fayose matter. And since 9am on Friday, I have not been able to reach him on phone. This is very unusual as he normally return from Abuja same day or at most, he would return the next day but this time, it has been three days he hasn’t returned.

“Relatives and friends have been calling me to ask about his whereabouts and some are saying that he may have been arrested by the security operatives. I appeal to the relevant authorities to please release my husband. He is the only one we have, myself and our three kids. He has no parents any longer and both of us are orphans, no one can take care of us except him. I plead with Government to please kindly release him for us,” she said.

Herdsmen Killings: "This Is A Killer Government" - Fayose Slams Buhari

Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti State has described President Muhammadu Buhari as a captured president who has been reduced to offering condolences to Nigerians slaughtered by herdsmen.

He said the President has failure in firm action to stop the atrocities.

Fayose wondered why a retired Army General and a former military Head of State who contested and won election on the premises of providing security to the citizens have suddenly become lame duck.

The Governor said in a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Idowu Adelusi.

He said, “This is a killer government”, the governor said, adding that it is shameful that Nigerians are dying daily with Buhari clueless and incompetent to handle the crisis.

“It is beyond dispute that the Buhari administration has lost the battle against insurgency and the Fulani herdsmen. Buhari is helpless as he is reduced to offering condolences on a daily basis.

“Nigerians are dying on a daily basis. Innocent souls are being wasted by herdsmen and the Buhari administration has lost all moral right to continue in office. Why is he still sitting in office? Doing what, if I may ask”, he added.

He wondered that this was a government that lambasted the PDP administration of ex-President Goodluck Jonathan for cluelessness.

He said, “ the same Jonathan administration era is now looking like the golden age of security of lives and properties in Nigeria”

“At no period since 1999 has life been this cheap. Life has become nasty, brutish, and short under the Buhari administration”, he said. Gov. Fayose also expressed misgivings about recent spate of controversial judgments by courts which he said gave the impression of collusion between unscrupulous judges and the Buhari administration to truncate democracy and lead the country into anarchy.

“The situation is getting so bad that we do not know whether the Constitution of the country has been unofficially suspended.

“Nigerians have been unlucky with Buhari as president. He is too old, too analogue, too incompetent, too clueless and is not ready to admit and yield for a competent leader. This country has never had it this bad. Gradually, Buhari is becoming a maximum ruler,” he added.

Fayose Slams Buhari Over Murdering Of Rev. Fathers, Parishioners In Benue

Fayose Slams Buhari Over Murdering Of Rev. Fathers, Parishioners In Benue

Governor of Ekiti state, Ayodele Fayose, has attacked President Muhammadu Buhari over the killing of two Reverend Fathers and 19 others in Gwer East Local Government Area of Benue State by suspected herdsmen.

Rev Fathers, Gor Joseph and Felix were on Tuesday killed after suspected herdsmen attacked the village.

Fayose, writing on his Twitter page, wondered why Buhari was silent over the ”seeming ethnic cleansing in Benue and other middle-belt States.”

He wrote ”A government that is not concerned about the killing of 18 Catholic worshipers, including two priests but running after perceived political opponents will surely come to an inglorious end one day.

”It is alarming and curious that Father Joseph Gor, one of the Catholic Priests that were murdered in Benue State yesterday, raised alarm on January 3, 2018, through his Facebook account on the occupation of Mbalom community by herdsmen. Yet, the priest was killed!

”Why is the FG allowing this seeming ethnic cleansing in Benue and other middle-belt States, such that President Buhari and the entire members of his government do not see the wanton killings as anything to be worried about?

”When did Nigeria degenerate to the level that people can no longer worship peacefully in their churches or go to their farms? When did Nigeria become a state of anomie where people are killed even after raising alarm that there was threat to their existence?

”In all these, Nigerians should remember that I warned that a tyrant will forever be a tyrant.”
